The StandardX, Bangkok Phra Arthit

The hotel is very well located, on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, a 15-minute walk from the Grand Palace and many temples, and next to lively streets with many dining options. The top floor is a real plus: in addition to the pool, the view of the city is breathtaking. An excellent base for visiting Bangkok, with or without children.

Loved it here from the minute we walked into the beautiful lobby. Our room was beautiful, bedding was amazing. Breakfast included at the charming little restuarant on the river. Eggs Benny, smoked salmon and more. Yum! The rooftop pool was beautiful, relaxing, quiet and had great views and service from the bar next to it. Location coudn't be more perfect. Cross the street and within minute or two you are walking through a charming little alley filled with lights, restuarants, live music etc. Khoa san road is just a few minutes further and really fun. 7eleven next door to the hotel. And the ferry stops right in front of the hotel and takes you everywhere you need to go. Welcome drinks were also included. One more thing, try the chicken Masaman curry at the hotel restaurant. It was by far THE best meal we had during our entire two week trip in Thailand. One suggestion to management: A rubber mat at the stairs where people exit the pool would prevent falls. Water sits there, and makes the tile very slippery. We saw one guest slip and fall, he was young and jumped up easily but this would not be the case if an older guest were to fall there. If we are ever in Bangkok again we will definitely stay at the StandardX.
